MEET spin-off E-Lyte Plans to Build a Multi-Ton Production Plant for High-Performance Electrolytes

E-Lyte Innovations GmbH (E-Lyte for short) is the first German company to realize a production plant on a scale of several thousand tons for customized high-performance electrolytes at a German location. Specific electrolyte solutions are components of innovative high-performance batteries and are largely responsible for their properties and possible applications.

E-Lyte is supported financially and technologically by FUCHS SCHMIERSTOFFE GMBH. The production plant is scheduled to go into operation as early as summer 2023 and, in addition to the highest technological standards, will also depict flexible production processes. In order to enable industrialization, scaling and further growth quickly, the necessary production infrastructure will be set up at a FUCHS location in Kaiserslautern. The third partner in the joint venture is the founding shareholder of E-Lyte Innovations GmbH, the German Customcells Holding GmbH.

In 2019 E-Lyte was spun off as a start-up from MEET Battery Research Center at the University of Münster. In addition to supplying industrial manufacturers and the automotive sector in Germany, E-Lyte also wants to contribute to stabilizing the supply chain for battery production in Europe.
